Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

A hifi homecinema soundbar without dts support seems not up to date for me. Are there any plans to add dts support?

    I was planning to buy a Playbar because I assumed it would be awesome just like the rest of my Sonos speakers.  After much research it appears to be an overpriced and under developed option.   I found other options for half the price.  I would love to invest in PlayBar II if it is a more robust product!

    One more vote for DTS support. Just heard of another wife saying "you have to return that crap". Unfortunately, the first DVD she tried to play for the kids was DTS only 😞

    We just got a Play1 for our kitchen and because we were impressed with the sound, we were definitely considering a SONOS surround sound system for our DVD, AppleTV and cable box. Our TV is 6 years old and not compatible with Playbar with "no workaround." But since Playbar can't communicate with our AV Receiver's optical output with DTS we have given up on the idea, as, it seems, have many others.

    I have 8 sonos speakers including the full 5.1 set up and have only now discovered that dts is not supported. Listening to Star Wars in stereo sound on a 1800 euro 5.1 system is not what I had intended. Please add my support for dts update.

    Another vote for dts........just bought the playbar and play 1s. Love the system when fed pure 5.1 however, it is a pain not getting the best from most of my blurays. I cannot recommend this system to friends until this is corrected
